Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4--7 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical teaching notes are included at the back of each book. There was once a woman who baked the best cakes in the whole world. The fairies loved her cakes. But they didn't want to buy them and the woman was far too clever to let anyone steal them. So the fairies decide to steal the cake-maker instead! What follows is a hilarious account of how the woman manages to escape the greedy fairies' clutches. This traditional story, retold by popular children's author, Rose Impey, shows how a little ingenuity can get you out of a tricky situation. Nick Schon's beautiful illustrations capture the fairies' frustration and the woman's triumph exquisitely. A story map on pages 14 and 15 tracks the comings and goings of the unfortunate fairies.
